I agree with 6 of the 7 principles of the Constitution Party.
I basically agree with “no foreign entanglements”, but what if we’re attacked? I believe we need to strike back - on THEIR soil - swiftly and fiercely. And what about helping other free nations in time of war? Isn’t it in our country’s best interest to aid other free nations? I admit I am torn between “minding our own business and taking care of our own matters” and defending the freedom of our allies.
Of courst, at all times we should follow Reagan’s policy of “peace through strength”.
How does the Constitution Party address these issues?
I have looked into the Const. Party as well, but the one about foreign entanglements is where I stop short of joining. It simply needs more explanation.
Foreign entanglements... long term troops in Japan, Germany, France, England... etc. and who is paying for these stationed troops? The United States, not the host countries they are supposed to be "defending", Us the American Taxpayer. and in this day and time no one is going to attack these countries, to do so would be suicide... a la Iraq attacking Kuwait.
That is where preemptive strikes come into place.
During my 21 years of service, I have been to most of these countries and do not believe for a second that they are our friends, as they would turn on us in a second should it become politically expedient... and they have!
Over the years my view has completely reversed on "defending" such countries especially after they have knifed us in the back so many times when we needed them.
